Josh Spiegel is one of the most unique radio and podcast personalities in America. He hosts the weekly podcast, Lunatic in the Newsroom in which he breaks down one topic in a style you won’t hear anywhere else. It’s not just news—it’s emotionally unstable.

Informative, authentic, and entertaining, Spiegel began his career at just 12 years old. In addition to hosting Lunatic in the Newsroom, he co-hosts the Justin, Scott and Spiegel morning show and anchors Josh Spiegel News and Comment on 98 Rock in Baltimore. He also delivers commentary on 98 Rock’s sister
station, WBAL Radio for which he has won numerous Edward R. Murrow Regional Awards and awards from the Associated Press.

“The thing about Spiegel is that even with some of the more difficult news pieces, he gives a feeling that there’s a perspective of humor that will make us all land on our feet,” wrote The Baltimore Jewish Times. “Even if we’re not interested in a particular news event, Spiegel gets us interested with quirky insight instead of coaxing or faux concern.”

“With just the Rubik’s Cube intonations of his voice, he’s presenting levels of commentary on the news that are so intangible that I think they’re really kind of subversive and edgy,” WYPR host Aaron Henkin told The City Paper. “I’m kind of star-struck by the guy.”

Spiegel has anchored news on a variety of radio formats throughout the United States, including stations in Dallas and Denver, and has been heard on NPR and the BBC. He has also written television news in Washington and Baltimore.

Spiegel lives with his dog, Farfel, a terrier, whose hobbies include barking, begging for food, and sleeping.
